- Case number
- HCA832/2014
The Master was correct: no specific issued 'Statement of Travel Records' existed in the 1st Defendant's possession, custody or power at the date of the Summons; the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance does not convert accessible personal data held by a third party into a discoverable document under Order 24; and even if the Statement were obtainable it was not necessary or proportionate to order discovery because it had limited probative value regarding the disputed Shanghai trip. The appeal is dismissed.
